We asked, you told us: Surprisingly, a lot of people still talk on the phone
July 07, 2025
Withtexting,messaging through a service,video chatting, and video messaging being so popular, calling someone on the phone seems like an ancient way to communicate.
Well, forsomepeople. Personally, I enjoy talking on the phone more than I do sending a quick message. Holding a conversation with someone and being able to hear their voice is much more personal. It might be a slower, less convenient way to communicate, but I feel it’s easier to get my point across and to find out what the other person wants when I can hear their voice.
Many of us seem to have differing opinions on the matter though, which is whywe asked youlast week how often you make phone calls. Surprisingly, the results are pretty much split into thirds.
How often do you make phone calls?
Out of almost 1,000 votes, 32.8% of voters said they never talk on the phone, 31.3% said they only talk on the phone sometimes, while 35.9% said they actually talk on the phone all the time.
To me, these results are surprising. I feel like I’m the only one in my group of friends and family that likes talking on the phone.
